Michael Jackson: Skin Pigmentation Surgery

In summary, Michael Jackson underwent multiple skin pigmentation surgeries to treat his vitiligo, which caused uneven patches of light and dark skin on his body. These surgeries did not change his race, as he always identified as a black man. There is no evidence that he regretted the surgeries, although he did express regret about the media's portrayal of them. There is also no evidence that the surgeries had any negative impact on his health.
